The Old Pocklingtonian Lodge No 7867 was honored recently to receive as a visitor WBro William Glanville, in attendance as the representative of the RW PGM, accompanied by his DC for the evening WBro David Bateman TD. VR. PPSGD.

A highlight of the evening was the presentation of a Certifcate of Service to WBro Robert Blaken Ward. The presentation was a closely guarded secret!

It can be said without doubt that the presentation of the certificate was a total surprise to Robert, which made the evening great fun.

The certificate is presented by RW PGM Dr David Chambers as a mark of his recognition in terms of the hard work, that he sees an individual undertakes going above and beyond within Freemasonry.

Robert is one of only a small number of Brethren to have received the honor. Robert put work in across the board, not only in Old Pocklingtonian Lodge but the many other lodges that Robert is part of. Robert's Masonic experience spans over 30 years and many Masonic Orders.

Well done Robert in receiving the award and many thanks RWPGM in recognizing the hard work and dedication that Robert puts into Freemasonry.
